How the 6 EL Lead Engine works
- 1
Search the real market
6 EL pulls live business listings around Houston — not a static database — so you see businesses that exist today, with their current ratings, review counts and websites.
- 2
Score the opportunity
Each business gets an opportunity score from signals a photographer can verify: review volume and rating, whether the listing has a website, how recently it appears to have been updated, and the category's typical photography spend.
- 3
Show you why
Every score comes with its reasons. You can see what pushed a business up or down before you spend a minute on it, and ignore the ones that do not fit how you work.
- 4
Draft the outreach
The AI Studio Manager writes a first message referencing what it actually found about that business. You edit it, then copy it or send it from your own Gmail or Outlook account.
6 EL does not sell contact lists and does not promise that any business is looking for a photographer. It narrows a real market down to the businesses most likely to benefit from better imagery, and tells you why.

Which Houston businesses buy food & restaurant photography?
In this market the most reliable buyers are independent restaurants, food halls, caterers, bakeries. Those categories are what the Lead Engine prioritises when you search Houston, TX with this specialty selected.
What radius should I search around Houston?
Start at 25 miles. That covers the workable core without pulling in businesses from a neighbouring market that buys differently.
What does the opportunity score mean?
It is an estimate built from public listing signals — review count and rating, whether a website exists, category, and how the business presents itself online. A high score means the gap between how the business looks and how it could look is large. It is a starting point, not a guarantee of interest.
